QIPSAs

Welcome to No Country For Old Interns, Glasstire’s new blog focusing on visual art in West Texas—specifically Marfa. Every blog worth reading has a FAQs or an “About Me” page, right? So form demands a QIPSA post, or “Questions I’m Pretending Someone Asked.”

Marfa, where’s that?Located at the intersection of U.S. Routes 90 and 67 in Presidio County, Texas, Marfa is about 30 miles from the Mexican border and 170 miles from the nearest Starbucks.

I’ll cover exhibitions and art-related events in and around Marfa. In the process, I aim to convey this small community’s character and its specific place in the art world. If you can’t make the trek to Marfa, I hope you’ll add No Country to your bookmarks or Google Reader. And if you’re thinking about a visit, I hope my posts convince you it’s worth the effort.

Hi Theresa. My name is Matt Jacobs. I just graduated from KCAI this past May. Your name popped up because I heard you were an intern at the Chinati Foundation and also a KCAI Alum. I’ll be an intern there starting in February of next year. I’d love to hear how your experience is going so far, and also how living in Marfa is. Feel free to email me, Mattj2888@yahoo.com or just write me back.

I’ve been following your blog for a while too. You’re doing a really great job chronicling what’s happening out there. I’m getting more and more excited to come down next year. Keep up the good work!
